... as long as you're forceful and you have some evidence that the person you want to be referred to is both reputable and has good success rates, etc, they'll quite happily refer you. If I was you I'd call Mike and find out how long is NHS waiting list is - I've gone private with him so we can do it asap, and that meant only about a 3 week wait, but it took months to see Peter Whorwell through the NHS.
And Mike's rates are SO reasonable if you go private - £30 for the initial consultation, and then £40 for each hypno session. And whereas with Peter Whorwell you need 12 weekly treatments (and they cost £80 each), with Mike I think you only need one every few weeks, probably needing around 6 in total (Nat can probably tell you how many she had), so it doesn't work out expensive in the end. And you can't put a price on your health! 
Mike's really cool too - if you leave a message he'll call you back and discuss the whole thing with you.
PS - will reply to yr mail asap, just having a pants day, but in answer to your question my first session with Mike is this Monday, 1pm - so fingers crossed!!
